Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader?

The abomination of a speech that was given tonight makes clear that the Current Occupant of the White House is not well and nobody around him has the capability to tell him that and to prevent him from a truly public manic episode.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the horrific attacks in Providence and Bondi Beach this weekend. In moments of fear and darkness, students helped each other shelter. Bystanders disarmed gunmen. May we build a world where such acts of heroism are no longer necessary.

Yesterday’s shooting at Brown University was horrifying. Dawn and I pray for the families of those who were killed and injured, and for the entire Brown University community.
I’ve called Governor McKee to relay our support during this difficult time.

As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?

We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime.

Health insurance premiums are spiking.
Hospitals are closing.
Democrats are ready to fix this health care crisis RIGHT NOW.
But Donald Trump and Republicans in charge of Congress and the White House would rather shut down the government than save health care.

I just sent a message urging my Congressional lawmakers to support the GOSAFE Act, which would regulate deadly assault weapons. There's no more time for inaction. Join me in urging your lawmakers to pass this life-saving bill: etwn.us/4j3bsqQ @Everytown

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either.
This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.
